Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon Whiskey
In this age of “high proof only,” it’s easy to overlook 90 proof whiskey and the sensibility of its virtues. It’s lush and delicate, fruity and appropriately woody for its age. It needs no ice or water or cocktail; just take it straight.
Frey Ranch Straight Rye Whiskey Review
The nose is grain and barrel forward; the former light, citrusy, spicy and a little candied; the latter toasty and lightly charred with some smoldering campfire. It’s really pleasant to sniff and suss out new aromas.
Green River Rye Whiskey Review
Green River Rye offers a different flavor journey compared to its peers. Its sweeter profile and milder peppery taste make it more accessible, potentially appealing to a broader audience, including those who might find other rye whiskeys too intense.
Old Forester 1924 Bourbon Review
Old Forester’s longstanding mashbill is 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley. But the mashbill chosen for 1924 is 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley. It also was fermented with a unique yeast strain.
Espanita Double Barrel Reposado Tequila Review
This is a nice tequila for the price and arguably the best liquid from Impulsora Rombo.
I.W. Harper Cabernet Cask Reserve Bourbon Review
Too often secondary finishes are used to cover up mediocre juice and can leave an unbalanced sweetness with an unpleasant finish. This is not the case with the Cab Cask Reserve, and, to me, it tastes like a better-balanced, more nuanced Angel’s Envy Port Finish.
Frey Ranch American Single Malt Smoke Whiskey Review
This is a bold, distinctive and beautiful whiskey. But for some, it’s 100 proof may be a bit too much for their palate. The good news is this whiskey holds up well to a dash of water to tame the heat while bringing out even lighter and sweeter flavors to keep you coming back for another sip.
Michter’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Review
The nose leads with sorghum molasses, raspberry tart, dark fired tobacco, glove leather, creamed corn, soda bread, macadamia nuts, chocolate graham cracker. Yeah, all that and more.
Michter’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Rye Review
A single sip shows off its super-soft mouthfeel, and as always, this whiskey is precision balanced with no single flavor rushing to the fore. Soon enough, though, toasted oak emerges arm and arm with candied cherry, sugar maple candy and graham cracker.
